I think open carry is stupid, it causes panic.
Concealed carry should only be allowed, and only hand guns.

That's because y'all never had John Wayne as part of your national consciousness.
Only in states that have concealed carry or open carry..
The states with stricter gun laws like Illinois (Chicago) and New York State, shootings and murders are on the rise.

New Colorado crime report shows homicide numbers down
Dallas murder rate falls to lowest point since 1930
Now for the states & cities with harsh gun laws
CHICAGO SHOOTINGS, MURDERS UP FOR AUGUST 2015
...and the list goes on, and on, and on...
No Walter - it is because more and more states are tightening their gun laws. In open carry states gun deaths have risen. Big surprise that you got that backward. Did you even bother to check that ridiculous assertion?

Now I really know you are delusional. BTW exactly how would you carry a rifle or shotgun as a concealed weapon?

The thing is, those stats don't really tell the entire story. There's no clear or convincing evidence in those statistics that shows more gun laws lead to more or less gun crime. Look at Chicago. It ranked tenth overall in gun homicide rates in 2009-2010. And that was when there was a total ban on handguns in the city. Washington D.C. is pretty ridiculous too. In a city where only 3.6% of the population owns a firearm they have homicide by firearm rate of 16.5/100,000. That sure is one busy 3.6 % of the population.
The other problem is your list refers to gun deaths, not homicide by firearm. Many of the states that claim to have low "gun death rates" actually have comparatively high rates of homicide by firearm, New Jersey being a prime example. New Jersey had a higher rate of homicide by firearm than Idaho.
What really skews the numbers though is suicide. That list of gun deaths by state you linked to factors in all deaths by firearm, including suicide. Massachusetts I believe is ranked second lowest for gun deaths, including suicide. But there are also quite a few bridges in the state that have 15+ft tall chain link fencing along the side because too many people were committing suicide by jumping off of them. So, it would be interesting to see a comparison in suicides by state and find how much of a difference in suicide rates there is between heavy gun law states and those with little to no laws.
hey, how bout that chun wen toilet paper?
rough and tough, and it don't take no sh!t off no injuns
while at times a weapon is a necessary evil or a working survival tool
guns do make a certain type of person feel LESS scared
they can do things Jesus just can't
